Mobile Wallet

Think Again.

Mobile payment methods, also known as contactless payments, like ApplePay are becoming more and more commonplace. This is certainly the case for larger, franchise businesses, but it seems like small businesses aren’t quite on board with this newer technology. We wanted to know why, so we asked around and found the primary reason small biz isn’t making the change because they don’t want the hassle of having to change technology and train staff.

We get it. But if you’re holding back on making the switch to accept contactless and mobile forms of payment, you are missing out. This is true no matter the size of your business–from big to small and in between, you have to be ready for what the consumer wants. And consumers are taking it mobile.

Mobile Wallet Payments Are Growing

In a survey by Accenture, they found that consumers are looking for there to be a 60% increase to mobile wallet payments by the year 2020. Even cash payments, which still reigns supreme, fell from 67% in 2015 to 60% in 2016 with larger use of mobile and contactless payment options. As consumers continue to implement mobile wallets, businesses need to be ready to accept these payment types. Are you ready?

You Want These Customers

Currently, it’s about 1 in 5 consumers that wants to be able to use technology like ApplePay. These consumers are likely young with higher education and a bank account, so they are good customers to get and retain. Millennials and Gen-X consumers like receiving email receipts for purchases and loyalty tracking through mobile apps because they always have their smartphones. It just makes sense to appeal to these eager consumers.
